Oppenheim's algebraicity conjecture for linear forms

From papers

Let n3n\geq 3, and let L1,,,Ln,\langle\mathbf{L}_1,\,\cdot\,\rangle,\dots,\langle\mathbf{L}_n,\,\cdot\,\rangle be nn linearly independent linear forms on Rn\mathbb{R}^n satisfying

infxZn{0}L1,xLn,x>0.\inf_{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{Z}^n\setminus\{\boldsymbol{0}\}}\left|\langle\mathbf{L}_1,\mathbf{x}\rangle\dots\langle\mathbf{L}_n,\mathbf{x}\rangle\right|>0.

Oppenheim's conjecture. The lattice

{(L1,x,,Ln,x)xZn}\left\{(\langle\mathbf{L}_1,\mathbf{x}\rangle,\dots,\langle\mathbf{L}_n,\mathbf{x}\rangle)\mid\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{Z}^n\right\}

is algebraic, meaning that it is similar, modulo the action of the group of diagonal n×nn\times n matrices, to the lattice of a complete module of a totally real algebraic number field of degree nn. The source presents this as a classical conjecture and states that it remains unproved.
